Garrett Green is good comparison. Garrett filled a need just like Yanni will but Yanni looks like he might be slightly more athletic (hopefully!!)... obviously its a wait and see.

With Wetzell, I’ll believe it when I see it. I think he’s more likely to provide 6-7 points and 4 or 5 boards a game. Wetzell - 6'10", 240 pounds. Garrett Green - 6'11", 240 pounds. Wetzell last year at Vandy: 18 minutes, 6 points per game, 3.8 rebounds. Shot 50% from the floor and 26% from three. Green's stats at LSU the year before he transferred: 18 minutes, 6.3 points per game, 5.1 rebounds a game. Shbt 45% from the floor, 26% from three. Garrett Green as an Aztec: 18 minutes, 6.3 points, 5.1 rebounds. Shot 58% from the floor, and 25% from three. I really want to dislike this comparison, but I don’t. GG was more true 5 and Yanni looks like a 4/stretch 5 - better shooter. GG got decent run in the G league and gave us great minutes though.

It will be intersting. Not sure the talent is equal across the borad on our losses *Jalen > Yanni *Devin > Flynn *Germ > Feagin My Yanno Jalen comparison was being facetious. ;-)

this guy turned it on at the end of the year with more playing time. would be a good pickup someone brought this thread back from the dead...and yes its good to look back at how short sighted we can be. yes, i thought he would be a good pickup. i didnt think he would be this good. We wouldnt have been able to promise Jaden 30 mins with Wetzel coming in.

We wouldnt have been able to promise Jaden 30 mins with Wetzel coming in. I am also guilty of thinking that “The Pretzel” would not be this good. I am very happy to be wrong. In fact, I would have to believe he has surprised most of us. Obviously, in a very positive way. Happy to see this young man doing so well. Seems like Vandy might have been using him entirely wrong or he really has developed nicely.

We wouldnt have been able to promise Jaden 30 mins with Wetzel coming in. I believe (someone please correct me if I'm wrong here...) that we went after Wetzel after it became apparent that Jaden was going elsewhere, as that freed up an available scholarship. So it would never have been a case of the two of them competing for time.

Yes, Coach Pollack told me at fantasy camp that no way they would've landed both. They had to move on from Jaden quickly or risk losing Yanni. Same with KJ. Boogie decommitted from Duke but Memphis was his first choice and coaches liked KJ a lot. Glad it finally all worked in our favor. someone brought this thread back from the dead...and yes its good to look back at how short sighted we can be. yes, i thought he would be a good pickup. i didnt think he would be this good.

Just read back through the Yanni Wetzell recruiting thread. There were a few people that thought highly of him, but also a lot that did not. It's kind of fun sometimes to re-read the threads after the fact knowing what we know now.

Pretty funny looking back Gundo was wrong on all 3 !1 in each case the replacement was an upgrade. I was guilty of thinking Yanni would be another soft Euro type player ...could not have been more wrong .

Another fine example of why the coaches get paid the big bucks!

He was great. Not just his ability but his hustle, demeanor, and attitude. You could tell he was the kind of guy that would run through a wall for Dutcher.

do think if the Aztecs had a decent run in MM - more of Yanni's development as a grad transfer would have gotten out nationally - very likely could have helped Dutcher and the other coaches recruit a quality 5/4 grad transfer

Give it up. We had more press this year than we have had in decades. It's very well known what Yanni did. We're not recruiting the same situation this year. We don't have an open starting spot.

That's what's wrong with 6 to 10 pages about some 6-10 245 lb guy with one to play or a 7-1 205 kid in 2027. 1000 post about his 5.5 rb a game but shoots 60% ft's. Going on and on about 10 or 15 guys only 3 people ever heard of and 1 out 100 ever come to SDSU.

Prime example of fans thinking they're smart by looking at some stats for ten seconds and thinking they know more than coaches who have seen them play. Happening again real soon when we sign another.

It's kind of fun sometimes to re-read the threads after the fact knowing what we know now. When you just looked at his stats at Vandy they were pretty meh. Once I saw him play for us, saw his footwork and build, it really opened my eyes. Just so much athleticism for a big guy. And that was against BYU where he really didn't play very well. And he got better as the season progressed. Just imagine what he could have done if Nate hadn't gotten hurt.

He needs to have some negative take or he won't have a take!!!!!
